Thanks for that link . . . .

Kinda sad that it got stuck out of the way.

It used to be a Navy base with the largest dry dock in the world. Then it became an Army facility. My mother worked there as a civilian most of her life.

It’s now the base for a cruise ship line. That’s what all the cars are doing parked there. The owners are on a cruise! But you can’t get past the entrance checkpoint unless you have a ticket. Thus, no one really sees that monument.

I’m sure there are the annual ceremonies and other events but that’s it. When the military gave up the base, it was supposed to be open to all the residents of Bayonne. So much for that.
